Fool them before they get you!

I just read an article in our local newspaper about the rise in automobile break-ins. They are becoming more and more an everyday occurrence. Autos are being ransacked not because the windows or doors were left open, but rather when something that attracts the eye is spotted in the car. These thieves will break windshields, side windows, and even bust doors to get what they want. Of course the easiest and smartest thing to do is make sure you don't leave attractive items such as an Ipod, camera, purse, GPS or almost any electronic device. But, what about the quick trip into the grocery store or school, etc. It's so annoying to think I've got to live like that. It brings paranoia into my life.

One remedy is to get an alarm system if you can afford one, but most people cannot. The second best choice is a "fake system" that includes stickers for your windows that warn potential thieves of the alarm. These systems have a battery operated light that blinks as if to show it is armed. The battery lasts about 10 months and they are inexpensive too!
